Renown
Purewood Mahogany
African
Mahogany has all the characteristics of a great
tone wood. Its weight and strength produce a
well-balanced tone range and strong volume. African
Mahogany produces approximately a 20% increase
to low frequency resonance to a comparable maple
shell. Mid and high frequencies are similar to
Maple but due to the increased lower frequency
response, the Gretsch Renown Purewood Mahogany
is perceived to have a overall warmer tonal characteristic.

6-ply African Mahogany shells with silver sealer interior finish
